          Didn’t Stephen Colbert of the Colbert Report die? I thought Stephen Colbert of Late Night tried to bring that Stephen Colbert in for a segment and Viacom threw a hissy fit.

            Maybe now that they’re canceling him he can bring it back. Unless Paramount owns it through Comedy Central even after all these years…

          If only Justin Sane didn’t turn out to be a POS. Could really use Anti-Flag right about now.

        The first seasons that had ongoing story arcs were great IMO. But I’m also someone who hates/hated early south park.
